I suffered from depression for years. I was lucky enough to find, or he found me, a great psychiatrist. He tricked me into going back to college and getting a degree in Clinical Psychology.
Years latter I’ve learned that pills don’t work very well for me. I do better with exercise, like walks in the outdoors. Also vitamin B-12 helps me.
None of this may work for you, but I hope you can find the best path for yourself.
Also found that most of things I worry about never happen or end up taking care of themselves.
I also do breathing exercises that help.
